I think the Factory would probably be the best match for the Ripsaw if you want Union.

If you're still learning, why in the world did you get a board as aggressive as the Ripsaw?

It is what it is at this point. Don't dumb it down by putting a soft binding on it. Hop on and tame that wild bronco! You're gonna get bucked off a few times along the way for sure.

Well I got out 60 times last year. So I'm decent. And I'm definetly getting better still. So I'm sure I'll be on on the ripsaw. I was mostly just seeing if getting the contact pro because of the color was stuoid or not.

Pretty sure in the past, Travis Rice's binding has just been a Factory in a different colorway. Not sure if that changed for this year or not.

Ride El Hefe..... Ugh. Worst binding ever. I had them for a whopping 3 weeks last year.

Very poor construction.

What didn't you like about the El Hefe's?
